Drop Tuning String Gauge Options

[PosterBoy]

I''m considering putting my Les Paul into a drop tuning to start exploring playing more post hardcore type stuff

I think I have 11s on it at the moment in standard tuning,

I'm thinking of either C# standard tuning as Darius' Metalcore lessons are in or Drop C# like Story of the year guitarist .

So do I go 12s or 13s?

I personally like the resistence in my pick hand. A lot of players do.

It really does come down to preference. NO matter what anyone says, or doesn't say, it comes down to the player and his own choices. So folks, sadly, like most things in guitar. There are not HARD FIRM ANSWERS. It comes down to you trying everyone gauge/set you can get your hands on and finding out what works for you.
I used 9 slinkys for 10 years!!!! Then one day, I saw a set of bullet end yngwie strings on sale and they were out of my reuglar so I tried them. I LOVE the bullet ends as they make it really easy to restring since the bullet end acts like an anchor. and prevents string slippage. Also, the tone is perfect and they are simply the most subtle and expressive strings I"ve ever played. I'm sold. But again, just me. Some people, LIKE KEN< play AMAZINGLY WELL using very thick strings that would make me play like a first year student.
